The Nagas
are versatiles
artisans.
They make a declaration of
ethnicity almost on all
objects of everyday
usage .
The sheer impulse of the
Nagas to
decorate even
the deadly
weapons
of warfare
is evident
from their
daos and
spears .
Their drinking
pots bamboo
are embossed
beautifully
with various
cultural motifs.
The wood carving
on mammoth doors at
the
village-gate
and log-drums
in the
past are still
on
display .
Wooden replica of
human ,
animals
and birds have also
been made by
the Nagas for artistic
and ritualistic
purposes .
The artistry
expressed through the
medium of wood ,
bamboo and cane are
endless . Dress
materials for home
consumptions produced
on the most
primitive of looms by
the female folks are
veritable
feast for
the eyes .
The process
of weaving is
very slow
and tedious
and
therefore ,
expensive .
The designs , color
schemes and
motifs
on the fabric are
crystalized
into pictorial stories
about the tribes
. Human happiness
or pride is
inextricably
interwoven in the
fabrics
which therefore ,
are pictures
of an insular culture .
And the tribes
find aesthetic pleasure
in
preserving
the pictures
that they make by
themselves .
Hence ,
the culture
and traditions
of Nagaland is a
life in itself...
to be treasure
forever.

is now taking the lead to reach out such 'a thing
of beauty' to the connoisseurs of tribal artifacts which
otherwise would have remain confined within the domestic
walls of the Naga in their respectives homes.
